Wesley and Buffy are the only ones left in the office. They're shooting death glares at eachother.

"What the hell were you thinking Wes?! It's Angelus for God's sakes. How stupid are you if you didn't think he would excape?!" Buffy yelled.

"We had now way of knowing that someone was going to break into the safe Buffy," Wesley said calmly.

"Obviously! Now Angelus is rampaging around with out a sun to even hold him back. He could just keep feeding and feeding. Why the hell didn't you tell me he got loose?!"

"It was for you're own-"

"Don't give me that 'its for your own good' shit Wes! You aren't my watcher anymore! You don't know shit about me! Now I have to leave my job and fix your mistakes."

"Don't you think I know that?!" Wesley yelled pounding his had on the desk cracking it and making Buffy jump a little bit. "He knows all this shit about you now! You need a clear head not one that filled with-"

"Shut up!" Buffy screamed. "I don't need you hiding things from me now Wes! I've grown up since you last saw me. I can take care of myself!"

Gunn walks in. "Uh, I just came in here to make sure you two aren't killing eachother."

Buffy just looked at Wes. She scoffed then grabbed her bag and walked out and over to Cordy.

"Great. Good going Wes. Piss off the only person who can get Angel back," Gunn said.

"Come on Buffy. I'll take you to your room," Connor said.

*****

Buffy was asleep when Connor burst into her room.

"Angelus made an appeareance," Connor said and Buffy sped downstairs.

Wesley tossed her a crossbow and they ran out. They walked over to a warehouse.

"Do you know where you're going?" Wesley asked.

"Not really," Buffy said. "Something will turn up. Bodies, destruction," They turned a corner.

"Carpet."

They see a carpet square handing that says 'Welcome Buffster!'

"So much for suprise," Wesley said.

"I go high you go low," Buffy said jumping on the roof.

Buffy jumps into the warehouse and looks around the darkened area.

"Hey Lover. Nice to see you again," Angelus's distant voice says.

"Come out and give me a kiss then Angie," Buffy said.

She walked down a ladder.

"Warmer," Angelus's voice said.

She turned around some boxes.

"Smoking hot," Angelus said from behind her. "Honey! Look what I brought home for dinner!"

The beast walked out and Buffy looked at him.

"What is this?" The beast asked.

"A slayer," Angelus answered.

Buffy tried to shoot the beast with an arrow but it bounced off his thick skin. She tried to punch him, but he grabbed her throat.

"Thought you would enjoy a threesome Buff," Angelus smirked.

"Sure," Buffy said punching Angelus and wrestling free of the Beast.

Buffy punches the beast everywhere she can think of but it doesn't even phase him. The beast

punches her sending her into a pile of crates.

"That's gonna sting in the morning," Angelus smirked.

Buffy and The Beast continued to fight then the Beast got the upper hand. Buffy is bleeding and moving slower. The Beast kicks her to the ground then steps on her as she tries to get up. The beast grabs Buffy to face him. He lifts her then body slams her to the ground.

"Better get up," Angelus warns then the Beast kicks her across the room. "Somebody should stop this."

Buffy tries to Crawl away as the Beast walks up to her.

"This is all you are? I had heard the slayer possessed great strength, but there's no real power here. My master's power is beyond all limits, beyond your petty imagining. You are weak. You're nothing. You could not even Defeat me," The beast said looking down at Buffy.

"Ain't that the truth? I mean look at this guy. Pretty much the only thing that could kill him is himself. Or a piece of himself," Angelus said stabbing the beast in the back with the knife he had used to kill Lilah.

The beast bursts into a light making the sun reappear.

*****

Wesley who had killed the vampires outside saw the sun.

"Buffy," he muttered.

*****

"Aw, crap! You mean, killing the Beast really does bring back the sun? I thought that was Angel's retarded fantasy. Aah! Oh, well, what're you gonna do? Take the bad with the good, I always say. Anyway, I just wanted Beastie boy here to soften you up. I like my meat nice and tender."

Buffy stands and swings a heavy hook and chain toward Angelus, but it goes right by him as he dodges it easily.

"Ooh, swing and a miss, slugger. Sorry, but-" the hook and chain break through a dirty window to allow sunlight into the room; Buffy's sitting in the sunlight; Angelus ducks for cover. "God! OK. Well, I gotta give you props. Nice move, really. I guess we'll just have to take a rain check on that whole eviscerating you thing. Just you and me, now, Buff. Catch you later."

*****

Back at Hogwarts.............

Draco sat in awe at Dawn's story. He had shared his life with Dawn in return for her's like Buffy had suggested.

"Wow," Draco said."I'd say we're even eh?"

They both nodded at eachother.

*****

Welsey and Buffy walked into his apartment.

"Sit over here," Wesley said closing the door behind them.

Buffy just stands, a bit of blood dripping from her. Wesley walks over and brushes some hair out of Buffy's face as he puts an Ice pack on he Jaw.

"Hold it for a second. I'm going to get some bandages," Wesley said starting to walk out.

"It's okay. I just need to take a shower," Buffy said.

"You sure you're okay?" Wesley asked.

"Fine," Buffy said.

*****

10 minutes later Buffy came out of the shower with clean clothes on. They head towards the hotel.

"We track him, we find him, we-" Buffy started.

Angelus walks out the front doors and says," Get your asses kicked? I dunno Wild guess."

Buffy kicks Angelus and they start to fight. Wesley aims a dart gun at Angelus but he pushed Buffy into Wes knocking the gun away. Angelus grabs the now unarmed Wesley by the throat.

"Sucky Spell huh? Think it would go at least to the sidewalk," Angelus smriekd.

"Let him Go. It's between you and me," Buffy said.

"It's never between you and me, Buff. Wes'll always be in the middle," Angelus said.

Buffy looks at Angelus then Wesley.

"That's right. Do the math Buff. Can you get to me before I snap his neck? Are you stil that fast with your cripple leg? Wes is dying To find out, aren't you Wes?"

"Do it," Wesley said.

"That's it Buff. Do it. Take your shot, and save the world. Come on What're you waiting for? It's all about choices lover. The ones we make and the ones we don't. And the Consequences, ah, they're always fun," Angelus grabs Wesley's neck tighter." Don't worry about good old Wes. What's one more body to us Lover? Come on where's my little killer?"

Gunn runs out into the garden and thows a gun to Buffy. Angelus lets go of Wes and Buffy shoots after him but misses.

"Go!" Wesley yells.

Gunn Looks down the street. "He's gone."

*****

Lorne's sleeping on the couch from getting hit by Fred's dart. Buffy, Wesley, are in the lobby, and Fred and Gunn are talking behind the front desk. Wesley stands and Cocks a gun.

"What are you doing with that?" Buffy asks.

"Changing the game," Wesley said.

"I thought we weren't going for the kill? Hello my husband's also in him," Buffy said.

"We aren't going for the kill, but if we get the chance I want to slow him down Long enough to tranq him."

"By Blowing his legs off?!" Fred asked as she and Gunn walked up..

"You want some help with that?" Gunn asked.

"I need you two watch the hotel," Wesley said.

*****

"Let's start with a perimeter sweep. If he's still in the area-" Buffy started.

"You'll let him escape again?" Wesley asked.

"This is coming from boy hostage," Buffy said.

"Angelus was right. You should have gone for him Buffy," Wesley said.

"He woud have killed you," Buffy said.

"And how many will he have the chance to murder now because you let that make a difference? Angelus is an animal and you know it. The only way to beat him is to be as visious as he is."
